In 1949 did copyright law exist in the way it does today AFG ?????????????????. Is the mellodrome protected by copyright or Patent AFG. Do you even understand the difference between the two ???? ! Chamberlain may have patented his invention but he did not copyright it ! they are completly different concepts. Im am not going to explain the difference to you , i just dont have the patience.
How long does a copyright last?
Copyrights in works created since 1978 will last for 70 years after the death of the work's author. If the work is what the copyright law calls a "work made for hire," created by employees within the scope of their employment, the work will last for 95 years from the work's first publication or 120 years from its creation, whichever is shorter. The provisions on copyrights in works created and published before 1978 are complicated, but, as a general rule, the copyright in those works will last 95 years. Anything first published in 1923 or earlier, though, is in the public domain.
How do I get a copyright?
You probably already have one. Copyright protection is automatic. As soon as you create a work and fix it in tangible form, copyright law protects it. You don't need to register your copyright or apply to a government office for approval. At one time, U.S. law required authors to affix a copyright notice to their works, but Congress eliminated that requirement in 1989.
